Hello Everyone! I'm here to let you know that every struggle you face you can overcome, every challenge you move forward from stand a little taller and prouder because of it.

November 30th 2018 at 11:30 pm I put out my last cigarette. Several months after that I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and just last month my marriage of 11 years ended. And in between all of that I was playing a little game with something called Covid; (you may of heard of it..... ). Anyhow; I could have buckled, bent and given into the urge to calm Mr. Nic but I did not. Honestly, now (two years later) it really isn't a thought and I am so grateful for all of those (some here) who were (and still are) my quitting buddies. I thank you all for your support and really want to know that if I can do it so can you... the first 100 days sucks bad; I won't lie, but those days will pass the same amount of time if you continue to smoke or decide to start paying yourself; and your future self will thank you.

Hi BillPNH it's always good to here from you, looking at that piccy I was wondering how much your 2 boys have grown.I'm sorry to hear about your Hypothiroidism. There's a forum on HU for that,too.

Well done for not giving in to Mr nic, during your brush with covid and the break up of your marriage.

You've managed a great 2 year quit!!🏆🏆👏👏👏

You've done really well and you've proved that you're far stronger than those little white sticks.

Thanks for popping in!
